Beautiful location, adorable tiny apartment nice view of the sea. We only stayed one night, but it has everything we needed to stay a week.
Featuring a private restaurant, Orthi Ammos is offering rooms with a private balcony and patio overlooking the sea, garden and the Venetian castle of Frangokastello.

This is the perfect family run taverna and rooms. Like, storybook. Great family - parents knew very little English, but the guys (kids or cousins?) that mostly interacted with guests did. Everyone was so sweet and we communicated through their little English and my minimal slaughtered Greek. Amazing made to order food by mom (I think.) Spacious room. AMAZING view.
In a most scenic location, enjoying the background of the Lefka Ori and the Libyan Sea, Kallicrates Village is located at Fragokastello, 6.8 mi east of Sfakia, at the southern coast of Crete.

Wild and wonderful corner of South Crete, with not many turists. Frangokastello offers the possibility to know sea and mountains, beaches are beautiful and of different typologies (sandy, pebbles, cliff). Tavernas (fish and/or meat) are numerous and of very good quality, not at all expensive

I liked the hosting family very much, who did their best to make us comfortable after we complained about our first night there with no hotwater or view of Sea as advertised.We were moved upstairs to a better room. We enjoyed walking to the bakery for fresh bread and baked goods and a good supermarket was near. Also a good bay for swimming and lots of naturewalks in area but you need a car. Took ferry to Agia Roumeli whereas walked to a part of the Samaria gorge from the south

We are regular visitors to Frango.
We are regular visitors to Frango. It is a beautiful quiet location with a great selection o. While there are 4 or 5 tavernas near the Venetian castle tavernas ( Avoid Drousillites) the rest are spread out over 3/4 kilometres from Vatalos (Sfakia direction) on the west to Zorbas (highly recommended on the east (Plakias direction)
Three distinct beach areas
1. Orthi Amnos long golden beach reached directly by steps near the beautiful Paradisos/Fata Morgana complex.
2. The Venetian castle again golden sands and water that remains shallow for a couple of hundred metres so very suitable for young kids or nervous swimmers/paddlers.
3. Near Stavros Taverna and Stavris Apartments and and stone beach with free sunbeds under shady trees. ( buy a drink or meal at the tavernas.
Frango stretches over a flat plateau-like area (about 6Km X 3km oval shape locked between the Libyan sea and the impress Lefka Ori mountains close to the IMBROS GORGE. A car is very useful but not essential. Bicycles are wonderful alternative and some apartments provide these complimentary. For us the heart of the community is the Taverna Kali Cardia (Good Heart) run by Thanassos and his son Alexi. Always good company and with fabulous traditional home-cooked Cretan meals. We have been travelling here for over 25 years and regularly encounter friends on return visits in this homely taverna.

We loved southern Crete.
We loved southern Crete. Much less built up and touristy than the north. The beaches are nice and gently sloping - amazing turquoise water. We had a day when the wind was really blowing but otherwise it was beautifully calm and enjoyable. Great place to explore more of the southern coast from.

the accomodation we stayed in didn’t fullfill our expectations, but for just staying the night was it ok. Definitely recommend the beach. It is beautiful with just few people and amazing views, sand beach and sea. I also recommend the taverna above the beach, it was very tasty and for a perfect price. The best trip we made was the Imbros gorge, even though there were a lot of people but it was very nice.

It's 15th year of my family's holidays there.
It's 15th year of my family's holidays there. We really love the city and all surrounding places. It's impossible to get bored.
I really love Vatalos Taverna and their family's concept for traditional cretan cuisine, cleanliness and friendship. Corali is a new nice discovery for us, after a short visit 2 years ago to one of their music nights.
The location is perfect. The hotel is just a few metres from a gorgeous sandy beach. The room is good value for money. What I liked most about it was the private balcony in the garden, with a view of the castle, the mountains and the sea, ideal for those who want to take their breakfast privately and enjoy nature. The restaurant, the same as the hotel, low prices but delicious food and great view. The staff are friendly and helpful people. Don't forget to try the local cheese pies served with honey made by the kind hospitable owner.
Beautiful and calm place, very close to the beach that is quite and well equipped (also with a taverna). The owners are a very kind family, they took care of us in all the possible ways (even with some welcome gifts). I and my husband really enjoyed the stay! The only partially negative thing was the location of the bedroom (on the side of the main road, but the windows are soundproofed). Recommended for everyone who desires quiet and direct contacts with the genuine splendor of South Crete!!
We have stayed at Fata Morgana 4 times before and love the place and the family that cares for it. We were impressed by the upgrades since our last visit. We love it so much that I hesitate to give a rave review because part of what we love is that the area is not crowded with tourists. Quiet beach (with a clothing optional section), lots of tavernas within walking distance, lots of wonderful walks and hikes all over SW Crete.
Coral is a laid back retreat right next to the sea where you can enjoy good music, good food, good drinks and shisha.
Thanks to the owners, the place has a beautiful vibe, and we enjoyed coming back and hanging around the hotel after a long days hike.
We stayed here for the first part of our trip and we missed the place after we left 😅
Awesome location, I'd say probably the best in Frangokastello. Very nice and friendly staffs. You can snorkel in the private beach of the hotel with their snorkeling equipments. They helped us in planning our Loutro trip as well. Nice food in the hotel, as well as very nice tavernas right outside. If you wish to relax, this is the place.
The best place I’ve been while I was in Crete.
location is just speechless, 30 mins from Sfakia. you are surrounded by nature and nothing else. just few steps and you have this cliff and down below a private beach.
I very much recommend it for any ruppe of stay (from 1 night up to stay for the whole vacation).
The hotel is right by the sea. Perfect view from each room. Very quiet and relaxing. You could find everything you needed. Lovely private beach but there are also beuatiful beaches close to the hotel if you don't wan't to use it. Alltogether it was a very pleasant stay. Would definitely do it again.
It's not my first review for this place and it's not my first time there either. I know the hotel before it got renovated and modernized and it never failed to amaze. Beautiful peaceful location, nice taverna next to it and great great beds. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Best location in Crete!!! Right in front of the sea. Quiet place, great sand beach and also rocky beach for snorkelling. Fabulous resting place. Apartment basic but has all you need. Definitely recommended! Food was excellent and staff super friendly
It’s very secluded, in the area of Crete that is quite a drive from the airport. We don’t like being “in the thick of it”, so under better weather circumstances this would’ve been an ideal stay. But we didn’t have luck with the weather.
The name of the hotel is chosen adequately with the experience you will enjoy over there : you really feel like in "paradisos". The Akti tavern, which is 20 meter far from the hotel, really adds a lot to this heavenly environment!
Very beautiful hotel with a lot of charm. The staff was very friendly. Spacious room with s beautiful sea view and yet very affordable. The breakfast was great as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will come again.
This was a nice hotel in a good location, right next to Frangokastello. It was easy to walk to the beach under the castle for a swim. The room was nice ... not fancy, but we were happy with it.
very calm location with breathtaking view. good beach just in a few meters from the hotel. very clean and beautiful hotel, rooms with wonderful terrasses or balcons
we will come back!
